My favorite feature is an image of flower on the device's display. As I make healthy choices over the course of the day (healthy lunch, vigorous exercise), the flower grows. As I make poor choices (being sedentary for ten hours, eating junk food), the flower shrinks. Of course, it's possible for each of us to sit down and come to conclusions about our choices without the device. But the flower is a simple, instant feedback mechanism that requires very little effort from the user. I've caught myself taking the stairs instead of the elevator, staying on the treadmill just a few minutes longer, and skipping the french fries at lunch recently. And I attribute it to the flower.
